Scholarships for Study Abroad

University of Auckland Study Abroad Scholarship

We’ve committed 100 Study Abroad scholarships of NZ$1,275 per year through our US partner institutions for fee-paying study abroad students. We also offer a 10% discount on tuition fees if you apply through one of our non-US partner institutions. Check with your home Study Abroad office to see if you are eligible.
